The Texas Rangers are flirting with historic offensive futility—and we’re not exaggerating. In this episode of SwingBadder, Brendan and Aidan dive into the disaster that is the 2024 Rangers offense. From abysmal OPS numbers to Marcus Semien and Corey Seager combining for fewer RBIs than you’d expect from a backup catcher, it’s time to ask: is this just a slump… or the end of a championship window?

We break down:

• The failed output of $60M in offense

• Bochy’s desperate lineup experiments

• Why every Rangers game feels like it ends 2–1

• How elite pitching is getting wasted

• Which AL West team will seize the moment

With stat breakdowns, historical comparisons, and some cathartic humor, this is the only Rangers postmortem you need.
